BRR 2016 Logo - FinalaiIf you’re going to be in Perry Saturday, it’s important to note that there will be some extra traffic on both two and four wheels.

The 39th Annual Bike Ride to Rippey starts in the morning and will have an impact on traffic patterns.

“The only road closures actually will be from about 9:30 until about 10:20. So basically we’re going to shut down the corner of 2nd (Street) and Willis (Avenue).  We’ll barricade at 1st Street and 3rd Street and then south on Railroad (Street) just for the mass start.  You’ll notice that because there’s going to be all these bikers in the middle of the road.  Please keep your car away from that area, we will open it back up as soon as we feel everyone has come through but that doesn’t mean people won’t ride throughout the day as well.”

That’s Bob Wilson with the Perry Chamber who says all riders are encouraged to head back to Perry from Rippey by around 2pm Saturday for safety reasons.

Additionally, anyone coming to Perry for the conference wrestling tournament Saturday is encouraged to avoid Highway 144 if possible and instead head south on Highway 4 to Highway 141.
